50+ Salem Weekend Events and Parties | August 27-30
Here we are, well into the 21st Century and high time for a condensed list of Salem weekend events. That’s what Salem Pipeline delivers, 50 + events in and around Salem that you can do this weekend. A huge shout out goes to the PDX Pipeline crew for laying the foundation and giving us a helping hand.
There are many listings so we have put events in red (or blue = linked!) that we think will be good, well attended, or should be interesting.
Reminder: We give out free tickets every week to our Salem Facebook Group including to many of the top music and art venues in Portland. Join it if you like free stuff.
